Thank you for your interest in running the 2012 ING New York Marathon for Sense. We would love to have you join the Sense Marathon team!
The ING New York City Marathon, taking place on 4 November 2012, is one of the world’s greatest and most challenging road races. With over 35,000 participants taking on the streets of five New York boroughs, 2 million cheering spectators and 315 million worldwide television viewers, it promises to be an incredible experience that you will never forget! As many past runners will agree, crossing the finishing line in Central Park is one of the greatest thrills of a lifetime!
This year we are working with Sports Tours International. For over 30 years, they have taken thousands of runners to take part in the New York City Marathon and they only use great hotels all of which are walking distance to race registration.
The packages they offer include return flights, hotel accommodation in a variety of hotels, airport/hotel transfers for selected flights and marathon entry.
For this package you need to book directly with our tour operator, and on booking you need to let them know you are running on behalf of Sense.
Please note that if you require accommodation or flights only, there are packages available that will allow you to do this.
You will fly to New York on Friday 2 November and will return on Monday 5 November. If you would like to upgrade your accommodation, bring a partner or extend your stay in New York, this will be at your own cost.
Please note that insurance is not included in the package but Sports Tours may be able to refer you to an insurer partner.
The package includes:
- Guaranteed Race entry
- A personal training plan
- Expert fundraising advice
- A Sense running vest
- Publicity support
- Tickets for the official bus to the start
- Excellent customer service
To show you how grateful we are that you have decided to run for Sense, we offer an incentive scheme to help you cover the costs of your flight and accommodation, provided you raise a minimum suggested amount in sponsorship.
- If you raise £1500 or more we will refund £500 towards your flight and accommodation costs
- If you raise £2000 or more we will refund £700 towards your flight and accommodation costs.
To be eligible for this refund you must confirm you are running for Sense with Sports Tours International on booking and your sponsorship total must be received by Sense by the end of January 2013.
To register, please visit www.sportstoursinternational.co.uk or email running@sportstoursinternational.co.uk for further details on packages available. Once you’ve registered, we’ll send you our fundraising pack which includes lots of tips and advice on how to reach your fundraising target and a training programme to help you across the finish line!
